What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva 2019 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2019 other wine made from Tempranillo in Rioja, Spain.
Typical grape profile: Tempranillo — Cherry and plum with leather and vanilla from oak ageing, classic in Rioja. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Tempranillo growing profile. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Rioja
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Drink it now or cellar for up to 30 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Located in the Spanish Rioja wine district Marqués de Riscal was the first winery in the region to bottle its own wines, as early as the second half of the 19th century. The prestigious winery, renowned for its excellent and award-winning wines, cultivates approximately 890 hectares of vineyards. The Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes for the Marqués de Riscal Gran Reserva are sourced from the estate's over 80-year-old vineyards and from local winemakers with whom the winery maintains a close and trusted partnership. After selection and harvest, the vinification takes place according to traditional methods, and the finished wine ages in French oak for 2.5 to 3 years before bottling and a further 3 years of maturation. In the glass, the Gran Reserva reveals an intense cherry-red color with bright purple hues. Its aromatic profile is broad and complex, with initial notes of ripe wild berries, followed by balsamic and Mediterranean herb aromas on a delicate toasted background. On the palate, it is round, soft, elegant, and smooth, with ripe tannins and excellent fruit concentration. The finish is long, persistent, and reminiscent of undergrowth and spices. Try it with wild boar goulash or venison stew.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
